Students create summaries in the style of a shortened Pecha Kucha. Pecha Kucha's typically have presenters using 20 slides that each show for 20 seconds. In our version the teacher or students could modify the number of slides and the timing. There are several suggested formats below for this, though variation and creativity should be encouraged. It takes students about 10 seconds to read 2 sentences/explain 2 bullets, so you can adjust your timing based on about how much students will have to say for each slide. This could be used to Jigsaw learning, to review a unit, or as a preview activity to jumpstart interest in an upcoming unit.
